Salem State Professor Demands Apology From Lululemon CEO

BOSTON (CBS) – A Salem State University professor is demanding an apology from the CEO of Lululemon, a yoga clothing company. Last week, Chip Wilson’s comments about how certain woman may not be able to wear the company’s very popular yoga pants went viral, and his words have created a backlash.

Wilson, the founder of Lululemon, told Bloomberg News that having thighs that don’t touch would help keep the brand’s yoga pants from thinning.

“It’s really about the rubbing through the thighs, how much pressure is there,” Wilson said. “Some women’s bodies just actually don’t work for it.”

“I think it’s valid to say that a piece of apparel doesn’t work for all women,” Hains told WBZ-TV. “But when you then say that because their thighs rub together it doesn’t work, that’s a problem.”
